The Find: a baseball bat that’s fancier than the average Louisville Slugger

Toronto gets baseball fever when the weather becomes exceptionally nice, as evidenced by the decent attendance numbers at Blue Jays games, the rise of the baseball cap as a fashionable accessory and the number of amateur softball teams in Trinity Bellwoods and Riverdale parks. To beat out the other beer league teams vying for supremacy, it’s important to have great equipment, which is why this Garrison Creek Bat Company “Bellwoods” bat is just the ticket. Each bat is 100 per cent handcrafted from solid hard maple, and is thoroughly inspected by the designer C.R. Fieldhouse to ensure the user is holding a piece of wood that is strong enough to hit plenty of dingers. Heck, this would even look great hung on a wall as decoration. $200. Click to buy »
